the cold has dehumidified the weekend's monsoon
so now it feels crisp and autumnal again. tomorrow/this morning's supposed to be a beautiful columbus day, that i unfortunately gotta spend mostly inside since the markets are open today.
a few weeks ago i pulled an all-nighter at work. we were in the middle of making an offer to acquire another company based in europe, so i hung out with one of our p.r. girls while the lawyers battled over the phone until 6am when the press release was approved and had to go live on the u.k. site immediately. it sucked being there that long but it was kind of interesting and hardcore to listen to the president and ceo and such talking about whether they wanted to pay a few mill for this company and blah blah blah... writing about corporate m&a is probably a new low in weblogging but you wanna know what i'm interested in, right?
my friend chris had an opening last week at the new museum, and when a friend is having an art opening, you pretty much go—but i genuinely wanted to see what he'd been working on plus knew i'd get to catch up with some peeps. i attended with a friend who's also going through a breakup after a long relationship. over her red and my white (can't handle the sweating and headache i always get with red) wine we talk about rebounding, ask each other what we thought of online personals, friends going straight, new roommates, friends in common, awkward sightings and contact.
that's all i can remember for now, but i'll be back tomorrow.
